For 12 years, David Banner has been running. In this final Chapter of the Hulk Saga, Banner's running comes to an end. He takes a job as a janitor in a Government labratory pretending to have a slight mental handicap. This way Banner can sneak around through security without being noticed. He hacks into the head doctor's study and begins changing and reoganizing his formulas… read more »
Dr. David Banner was a research scientist trying to find a way to tap into the hidden strength that all humans possess. Then, one night in his labratory, an experiment went wrong, causing him to be overexposed to gamma radiation. Now, whenever angered or distressed, the mild-mannered scientist… More finds himself transforming into a powerful seven-foot green creature known as The Incredible Hulk. The creature is guided by David's personality, dealing with whatever distresses David. But unfortunately, David has no control over the creature's actions. Nor can he remember what he had done during his Hulkish states. He travels around the country in search of a cure, while taking various odd jobs under different aliases. During this odyssey, he tries to avoid the pursuit of investigative reporter Jack McGee, who suspects the Hulk of murder, and who is determined to discover the creature's true identity.
This is way out there but I actually had an idea for a new Hulk type series. For those of you who saw the final movie where Banner dies, the woman he was trying to save and David had fallen in love. In fact, they slept together it seems. What if she had gotten pregnant during that time, and it is… More several years later that the child discovers he is afflicted with the gamma radiation that haunted his father making him change into a Hulk like creature?
the Hulk on there gives mercy to the criminals that kill people, Hulk should mutilate all ages of criminals even the handicap criminals should be mutilated now that would make the show better. This show would be so much cooler if it had blood and Guts. The list of handycap criminals Hulk should… More kill 1. Pregnant criminals 2. criminals with mental problems (That act like 5 year olds) 3. Deformed criminals 4. Blind criminals That would be so cool to see him killing handycap criminals.
I've recently been returning to my childhood reruns and watching some of the classic Hulk episodes that have been shown on TV, Hulu, etc. but I'm definitely ready to buy the dvds so I can watch them whenever I please. Does anyone have any opinions as to which season I should buy first? … More I really prefer to start with my favorite/the best season and work from there so I've been tied between season 2 and 4. Season 2 has some of the show's greats, like Mystery Man, Married, The Quiet Room, etc., and has overall more consistently enjoyable episodes (if that phrase made any sense) but season 4 has some of my personal favs, like Prometheus, Dark Side, and The Harder They Fall. Anyone have any opinions on which I should get (or maybe if I should get any other seasons to start with)?
David working as a waiter in Chicago, was it Chicago?:) He is helping 2 woman starting a business but his photo is taken by a reporter and David has to stop the presses !
Very good episode and first time we see some character development for Mr. Mc

I found this espisode one of the better of the season, especially the character of McGee. I think he never had so many screentime throughout the beginning of the show then in this episode.
I also like the humor in this episode, especially the scene in the lift when David and McGee are 2 foot away from each other
Also the scene where the Hulk was hit by a dart was very new and exciting.
The only lose end was the transformation of the hulk the first time.
Didn't they see that David was transforming in the Hulk? In the end, they must have come to the conclusion that David is the Hulk, no?
Trucks, cars, chases and fun for everyone hide show
One of the problems David Banner frequently encounters is people taking advantage of him. Because he is a caring person, he is an easy target. This episode is no different. A woman truck driver turns on the charm and asked Banner to help with a favor. He gladly complies but soon finds that he was deceived. Thus begins a fun episode. There is drama and humor mixed from beginning to end.
One of the interesting features of this episode is the "stock footage" used in some of the chase scenes. Clips from one of Steve Spielberg's first movies, Duel, are used several times. If you've scene Spielberg's film then you may find it comical to see how the directors of this episode keep the passenger in this car from view of the camera (since the original clips only had one person in the car). This one is lot's of fun for every viewer.
Based on the Marvel Comic characters, but played with a deep sense of tragedy. hide show
I didn't expect to like this show so much, but Bill Bixby brings a great deal of talent to his acting, and conveys with tremendous skill a deep sense of the real tragedy that becoming the Incredible Hulk was for David Banner. The wandering life, the constant struggle to never, ever loose his temper or get an adrenaline rush - it does get to you, despite what we would consider today the truly terrible effects. Even Lou Ferrigno, whos job mostly consisted of busting out of shirts, managed a couple moments of grace. Sad note: Bill died of prostate cancer in November of '93 while directing "Blossom".
Perhaps the most intelligent of the superhero shows. hide show
I'm not sure if it can really be considered a super-hero show, since the Hulk was more like an anti-hero, but it fits into that genre because it's based on a comic book, and the Hulk always ends up saving David Banner's skin, so on the whole he's a protagonist. In spite of its comic book roots, it's actually very sophisticated, not at all campy. If you've watched The Fugitive you'll notice the similarities. Both Richard Kimble and David Banner were on the run, Kimble from the law (he was falsely accused, convicted, and sentenced to death for his wife's murder) and Banner from a nosy reporter who, like the rest of the world, thinks he's dead and that the Hulk is responsible for the death of Banner's wife, and who, if he finds that Banner is alive or if he captures the Hulk, would make it impossible for Banner to find a cure for his "condition". Also like Kimble, Banner travels around the country, taking odd jobs, gets involved with people, albeit for a short while, and helps them however he can. Both David Janssen and Bill Bixby were great actors who died too young.
One may wonder why he would be so anxious for a cure, since the Hulk has saved his life on so many occassions. I guess you'd have to be in his shoes to really understand.
I think there is that little burst of anger in all of us that wants to come out at one time or another but we have to maintain it. hide show
A series about someone who has had a rough,sad, and lonely life but tries to make a difference and help out when he can
inspite of an extraordinary alter ego that he carries with him and inadverently helps the man deal with what he comes across. The scientist's creature which is guided by his personality does good even though perceived as a monster and
constantly pursued by a reporter. The reporter is pursuing the creature for a murder he did not commit and the reporter
inadverently caused the death. To watch Doctor Banner's story as he travels the world is an interesting story. What will happen first Banner being cured or being exposed by reporter Jack Mcghee?
